Prior to Jesse Prince’s departure, Robert Vaughn Young was the highest ranking member of Scientology to speak out against the church. Vaughn worked in Public Relations for the church and was it’s most effective spokesperson during the period of great turmoil surrounding the uncovering of Operation Snow White.
After leaving the church, he was instrumental in bringing out the truth about what Scientology is and what Scientology does.
While Vaughn was in Scientology, he appeared on several TV shows — including some in which he debated L. Ron Hubbard’s son. I have two of those shows available on the site. The PBS Late Night show from May 24, 1983 and a local talk show called Morning Break from 1982.
I also have an excerpt of a show called Network First in which he and his then wife Stacy Brooks demonstrate some of the Scientology training routines. He can also be seen in Secret Lives, a biography of L. Ron Hubbard.
Shortly before Vaughn died from cancer, he videotaped a depostion for the Lisa McPherson Civil Case.
